They further proposed that a recent warmer climate has altered the distribution of P. quercivorus such that they encountered Q. crispula, which is lacking in defence systems against the disease.
Worldwide, researchers have increasingly been focusing on how a changing climate has altered or is likely to alter migration patterns and the habitats that different species may find hospitable.
But Mr Wolfensohn said the intellectual climate had altered as a result of the White House's argument that the Iraqi people deserved a fresh start because their country's debt burden was accumulated under a brutal dictator.
Land that was once near a pole may now be near the equator, and the resulting shifts in climate have altered the type and diversity of plants and animals found in a particular region.
Those who believe the climate has been altered point to the United Nations' current peace efforts in Cambodia and Yugoslavia, or the efforts of the O.A.S. to bring compromise to Haiti.
Climate change has altered the climate of most ecosystems globally such that they cannot be considered stationary (that is, to have consistent climate means with some stochastic variation around those means; see Betancourt 2012).
What the industry describes as extreme weather events have increased in number and severity as the global climate system has altered, causing more and bigger hurricanes, typhoons and heatwaves around the world.
We tested the hypothesis that global climate change has altered the reproductive phenologies of populations of high-impact nonnative plant species and their closely related native congeners, predicting that nonnative species will have greater responses to climatic change than natives.
With rapid developments in the science of extreme event attribution10, it is now possible to robustly assess the extent to which anthropogenic climate change has altered the likelihood of such events.
Present-day climate change has altered the phenology (the timing of periodic life cycle events) of many plant and animal populations worldwide.
"In the long term, that is the main concern from losing volume from an ice shelf". The study adds to growing concern that climate change has altered the equilibrium of growth and melt on a part of the continent holding an estimated 530,000 cubic miles of ice.
